Motorola MD751 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Telephone System

Date Published: 5/3/06

The Motorola MD751 is a cost-effective way to improve communications for home or a small office.

This 5.8GHz cordless phone from Motorola offers an inexpensive solution to a common problem. Because Wi-Fi networks operate on the 2.4GHz frequency, many cordless phones block out data transmissions. With this unit, consumers receive acceptable range (about 150 feet) and don't need to worry about family or neighbors losing their connectivity to the Internet.

Aside from the affordable price, the Motorola MD751 also offers a built-in speakerphone, intercom, 3-way calling, and a 50-entry shared capacity for both the caller ID and the telephone book. The base station is also rather compact, making it ideal for smaller desks, nightstands, and busy kitchens.

Should you need more versatility or wider coverage, the system can also be expanded to include up to 8 handsets. Unfortunately, the battery is NiCd, so it must be drained with each use to avoid memory effect.

Otherwise, the Motorola MD751 is a cordless telephone that is a good option for people seeking a straightforward 5.8GHz phone.

Pros: Affordable, operates on a 5.8GHz frequency
Cons: NiCd battery
